Welcome back to the Figuring It Out podcast! This is the first episode of the New Year, and it goes over a few tips and tricks for dealing with panic attacks that have helped me in the past. I also discuss the fear and worry surrounding coming home for the holidays and how to welcome those doubts with open arms. This episode is short and sweet, and I hope there's something you can take away from it and apply to your own life. It's kind of all over the place, but so am I right now. This is the best I could do at this moment in time, and I'm figuring it out as I go. This podcast is like a public journal, and with that comes a very real vulnerability, and I want these to feel genuine and not structured in any way. So there are a lot of "umms" and "likes," and for that, I am deeply sorry, but I promise that if we talk in real life, I will say those horrible phrases a little less. I will laugh at myself though, just like I do on this podcast, so be warned that I think I'm hilarious even in real life. Please enjoy this week's dose of unhinged one-sided conversation. Thank you for listening.
